Send's Yemen through to the semi's.

 

Group A
Mauritania 1:1 Oman
Libya 1:4 Tunisia

Tunisia top group and qualify. Mauritania come second on goal difference form Oman and i beleive they qualify as runner up.

Group B
Saudi Arabia 1:4 Iraq

Iraq top group and qualify.

 

Morocco 2:0 Algeria

 

Right OK.
Final games are played, and with two groups only featuring 3 teams, I think it means that Group A's result against bottom placed team won't be counted for the best runners up place.

So we have.

Group A Winners: Tunisia
Group B Winners: Iraq
Group C Winners: Yemen
Best runner up: Morocco on goal difference from Saudi Arabia and more points than Mauritania.

Semi finals look like:
Tunisia - Morocco
Iraq - Yemen
